“Tonya took great care of our dogs and kept me posted every day. She sent the best pictures and they were definitely well cared for. She will be my go to pet sitter from now on.”
About: I'm an experienced and loving pet caregiver who treats every pet like family. I've cared for dogs, cats, birds, fish and other animals and I'm comfortable with pets of all personalities, ages, and energy levels. I especially love providing active, personalized care- including walks, beach, adventure, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention- while making sure each pet feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to fit pet care naturally into my daily routine. I enjoy spending time outdoors and staying active, so walks, playtime, beach outings, and visits fit perfectly into my day. I'm able to provide plenty of one-to-one attention and can work with each pet's individual schedule and needs. I am very reliable with details of caring for your pets in your home. I'm happy to clean up after them as well and make sure you come home to a tighty house. I know pets sometimes get upset when we leave them, so I make sure to give them extra attention and make sure they feel comforted.
“Erika went over and beyond for me and my baby. She was extremely attentive, alerted me to a rash that turns badly really fast and now he is on antibiotics. Very thorough, lots of updates and pictures. Could not have had a better person take care of your babies.”
“JaLisa was awesome. She took excellent care of our two yorkies. The dogs were very calm when we returned. They ate good and slept good. I really like the ideal of keeping the dogs in there home environment, and providing consistency with the dogs. JaLise was able to provide that for me. I will be contacting her again. Thanks JaLisa!”
“Graham provided in-house care for our two labradoodles for a full week. A new way for us to provide care for our dogs while we are out of town, our only regret is that we didn't make this arrangement with Graham sooner. We received daily texts with pictures assuring us that our dogs were well. Graham promptly replied to our text to him. Upon returning home, we were greeted by happy, healthy dogs, everything in the house in order, and a confirming note with house plant from Graham! The backyard "dog park" was clean as could be. We will hire him again without reservation!”
“Lauren was great with my kitten, Bates. She provided updates and pictures which kept me feeling connected while away. My kitten bonded with her (which is atypical for her!) so Lauren is special in my book. It was so nice to not worry about it and know she was in great hands.”
“Tara did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were gone for a week! She sent plenty of pics and kept us posted of their status and the local weather on a daily basis. She was very attentive to their needs and we would definitely let her sit for our dogs again in the future!”
“Sophie and Jacob are amazing! It was our first time leaving our puppy with a sitter and we were pretty nervous but I had such peace of mind the whole time I was gone. They sent cute pictures everyday and left our house pristine. We came home to a very happy pup. So happy we found someone who loves our dog as much as us. 10/10 recommended them”
“Brandi was absolutely amazing with our two dogs! From the moment we met her, we knew they were in great hands. She kept us updated with photos and messages, and it was clear our pups were happy, loved, and well cared for the entire time. We came home to two relaxed, tail-wagging dogs! Brandi truly went above and beyond — we couldn't have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Katelyn was absolutely phenomenal with my senior dog and cat. I’d highly recommend her and would absolutely use her services again. Very communicative, kind and responsible. She took care of my senior dog’s mobility needs as well :)”
“Athena is amazing! She went above and beyond in taking care of our dogs. The dogs loved her, we got lots of photo and video updates and she took care of everything at our house while we were away. I would highly recommend Athena!”
“Allyson was absolutely fantastic with our pups, and took care of their (many) different needs with attention to detail and lots of love. She was absolutely fantastic with keeping us up to date with anything and everything and we returned home to very well cared for and well loved pups. 10 out of 10 would recommend!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 1,319 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Edisto Island. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Edisto Island walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Edisto Island maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Edisto Island choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
